Ask Lemmy

A global crash is about to happen by 2040-2050, but billionaires' heads could be on the guillotine 8-10 years sooner, when the price of everything soars into space, and they, of course, do not want this, therefore, they decided to accelerate the collapse and destroy Internet with AI to avoid it. As an example, you can read about the Great French Revolution of 1789-1799. I don't remember the exact dates, you can look it up on Wikipedia or somewhere else.

That's why billionaires and others are so active in promoting AI and investing incredible money in it in the hope that it will help fix the situation or at least give them time to take a break and hide in bunkers, and in 2027 they plan to use AI agents to charm people and scare them away from resistance, because these AI agents will sing perfect songs better than any singers and human fantasies, draw masterpieces of art better than any person in seconds and for any tastes for any person, and not only photos, but also animations and videos + copy the souls of real creators and even improve them at the request of people without copyright problems. Add to this deepfakes and wars, as well as news that will also distract people from real problems.

And when the AI bubble finally bursts in 2029-2033 then the Great Depression 2.0 will begin, which will not end like in the 1900s, but will gradually return us to the level of the civilization of the 1800s without the Internet, computers and electricity, and the billionaires will hide in bunkers. And all because of the fear of the magical guillotine.
